Messages Multimedia messages (Menu 5-2) Multimedia message service (MMS) is a messaging service very similar to Short message service (SMS). It provides asynchronous delivery of personal multimedia messages from between phone and phone, phone and e-mail, phone and web(by URL). In addition to the familiar text content of text messages, multimedia messages can contain images, graphics, voice and sounds. An MMS message is a multimedia presentation in a single entry. It is not a text file with attachments. Using the MMS feature, your phone can receive multimedia messages. You can also send picture messages. This function is available only if it is supported by your service provider. Only phones that offer picture message features can receive and display picture messages. Retrieving a new message When you are retrieving a message, the Retrieving icon ( ) appears on the display. When you finish retrieving a new message, the New message icon ( ) and a text notification showing the number of the message appear on the display.
